PS Charlie, the lovely sounding girl at GameStop, was not cute. Big disappointment. I was picturing some sexy little Jennifer Love-Hewitt shy, demure little wisp of a girl. She looked more like a russian tank driver, but damn what a phone voice.


BLOOT!

Here is the base D9 skin....as you can see it needs some touch up. Not sure where the mystery parts went, but I'll track em down.TX-ZenBlack 6TX Squadron CO

Loading mine right now too. Ups delivered it 30 secs ago.....Yehhaaaa!!!BKB~

Wow...the AI Pilots sure got a lot better ! Even at Avg. they are blowing me out of the sky !My first ride was the LA-7 against the Hurric Field Mod. On the head to head pass he wiped my butt ! Flew the Hurrc Field Mod...kinda like a cessna with bazookas......Kinda cool how when you are dead your screen goes totally blank until your plane crashes and you get to see the bits flying...Favorite 109 is the 10 so far.Don't see any diff between the LA5 and the 7.....Same cheesey music...lolStill fun !BKB~

Let say this:Complex Engine Management is a beyaaatchIf you max everything (prop pitch, mixture, and MW50) you can count on your engine overspeeding and burning up in less than 1 minute, no joke. A nice little engine inop comes up on the screen. The neat thing when you dive with no engine, your prop starts windmilling fast enough to give you the illusion that your engine is running. Egad you say, what a hell of an E bleed in this climb. And then you get to see the bits exploding as you hit the ground, right on BK!I got smoked by two P40's set to novice while I was cruising around in my D9. Seemed like they were able to out turn, out climb and put better fire on me too, though I was afraid to go to wep for fear of the engine exploding again. Also haven't figured out the radiator, but its open by default and has 4 toggles which go to Radiator 2, 4, 6 and 8. Not sure which is the most cooling, my shat keeps burning up regardless.The FW190A5 AutoEngine management thing works...I hit auto prop pitch and it goes to 80%...mixture goes to 100%, but you can max prop to 100% and mixture to 120%.The engine throttle up is in 5% increments now instead of 10%, which is kind of annoying for me, at least til I get used to it. Also having weird sound problems...almost silent in the cockpit, can't hear the MG's firing. While flying the 262 I made a pass at a PE8, got some serious stutter then flew around in a permenant looking redout...externals were fine, cockpit view was almost gone. Maybe my guy's eye balls popped or something. So far I'm liking it, but it seems kind of, what...buggy? glitchy? not sure what to call that. TX-ZenBlack 6TX Squadron CO

Nope.Are the AI now ungodly uber?....Yep.Is the P-47 a pig with wings?....Yep.Will one bullet hit from another plane put yours into a giant fireball ?...Yep.If the damage model is really this tweeked will it encourage " pray and spray " to get that one bullet hit ?...Yep.In a D-9 flying head to head against a LA7..all my guns blazing from .5 out..did I get my hat handed to me?..YepAm I overly impressed so far ?...Nope.Am I slightly disappointed ?....Yep.Is the game too new to give fair review of ?....Yep.Are there a total of 4 players online right now playing on Ubi in FB?...Yep.Are both of those games that are going set to easy ?...Yep.It has to get better....Set the AI to Ace...LMMFAO !You have not got a chance in the world....lolBKB~

Ok. . a dude at gamestop held the last copy for me. . I sat in traffic for 3 hours to get home from what is usually a 25 min drive, and finally get up to the accident and its just a tow truck loading up a car. . with everyone looking at it to see bodies perhaps??? go figurefor me its too soon to coment. I am ready to start testing her out though, so I am a go look for you that have it. I too am not feeling certain that this couldnt have been done in a couple patches. . but then again, I payed about 74 bucks for flight sim 2002 pro, and that is about what I payed for IL2 and FB. . so so I cant even attempt to complain there. The 262, I-153, Huri and P-40 are a hoot. .. the 190 F8 seems pretty capable a dogfighter as well, the bombers are great, I havent figured out the bomb sights, or how to aim the gunners for that matter. . the P-47 rolls like overweight rottweiler, (but zoom climbs OK) the machine guns are for sure more effective now. . might make the p-39 pretty baddarse too!OK. . time to continue testing.S!ItTookBribesBegging60MilesofDrivingRunningAcrossParkingLotsTakingMyOwnCarToSchoolBeingLateForPhysicsExamAnd101PhoneCallsAndANiceGuyWhoSavedMeTheLastCopyToGetFBDragonCurrent mount: P-39 Q10Favorite Plane: BF109-G6A/Sand a bandit on my 6Most feared/resented FB addition: LA-7Characteristic noise during dive as reported by a third party witness: GGGGRRRRRRRBBBBBRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWK!!!

Well this just bites.....I drove all over Houston last night trying to find a copy....Seems the only store to have had a copy (gamestop @ Holcombe) sold out not long before I arrived on location.......There better be some floating around here today.  BTW all the stores are blaming UPS and saying that it should have been in the stores yesterday.......Ugh!TX-CageBlack 5... end ...

[TX-Rahman]

Cage,           Shazbot!  Holcombe had 4 copies.  Manford, Zen, and I bought all four I think. (Ducking for cover!)  Zen bought 2 from what I understand....HE did it!!!!! (hehe)  Sorry man...  Lemme know if you can't find any today and I'll call around for you...  I'm sure Fry's has some by now also...B~TX-Rahman"BLUE 2"UPDATE:  Zen bought one....so one was left.

[TX-Deck]

SHAZBOT!Zen only bought 1 copy, anticipating that the last copy was already in the plans for somebody else.   I asked him directly yesterday if you had reserved a copy somewhere and he confirmed that you were covered.  Had I known you needed one I would have just reserved all four copies under TX-Squadron!Judging from the amount of people playing last night, is it possible that there are only roughly 50 copies of this game in circulation so far?        8|TX-Deck out.

[TX-Rahman]

Cage,            I too thought about you yesterday and asked Manford about getting in touch with you to see if you needed a copy.  Just FYI... :)B~TX-Rahman"BLUE 2"
